Prosthetic Control and Muscle Interaction

The video discusses the implantation of electrodes in muscles to control a prosthetic hand. It explains how the same muscles used for natural hand movements are utilized to operate the prosthesis, albeit at a slower pace. The process from brain signals to muscle activation is also covered, highlighting the seamless integration of technology with human physiology.

What is the primary purpose of implanting electrodes into muscles?

• To improve blood circulation

• To control a prosthetic device

• To enhance muscle strength

• To monitor muscle health

How do the muscles used for natural hand movements relate to prosthetic control?

• They are the same muscles used to control the prosthesis

• They are only partially involved

• They are used in a different way

• They are not related at all

What is a key difference between natural hand movement and prosthetic control?

• Prosthetic control is faster

• Natural hand movement is slower

• Prosthetic control is slower

• There is no difference in speed

What components are involved in the process of controlling a prosthesis?

• Only the brain

• Only the muscles

• Brain, muscles, and nerves

• Only the nerves

How does the integration of brain signals and muscle activation affect prosthetic control?

• It has no effect

• It complicates the process

• It allows seamless control

• It makes the process slower
